Minecraft Borderless Window
Minecraft Borderless Window is a NeoForge utility that replaces the game's exclusive fullscreen with a borderless window, and its F11 key cycles through three screen modes.
What it does
The mod gives Minecraft three screen modes: windowed, borderless and the regular exclusive fullscreen. A configurable F11 key switches between them, and a toggle that moves between borderless and exclusive fullscreen is also available. Borderless mode sizes the window to the monitor and keeps the window decorations off, so alt-tabbing is immediate and the display mode of the monitor does not change.
The mod is aimed at players who see black-screen flashes, slow alt-tabbing or resolution desync when the game uses exclusive fullscreen. It also works with Windows HDR enabled, and the window follows the primary monitor on multi-monitor setups. Its settings start out matching the game's defaults, so installing or updating the mod does not change how the game looks until a player changes an option. A config screen is reachable from the Mods menu, and no other mod is needed for it to run.
Key features
Borderless fullscreen
The window fills the monitor without decorations and leaves the monitor's display mode untouched.
Three-mode screen system
Windowed, borderless and exclusive fullscreen can be cycled with a configurable F11 key.
Extra video options
Options that Minecraft does not expose in its own video settings are added, and the defaults match vanilla.
Config screen
Settings can be changed from a config screen opened through the Mods menu, without editing files by hand.
Bobbing refinement
Hand and camera bobbing controls add detail to the game's View Bobbing option, which stays in place, and turning View Bobbing off removes all bobbing.
